CAST ENAMEL :BAR AND FOUNTAIN WORK-BENCH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patentedleb. 23, 1915..

Application led February 18, 1914. `serallNo. 819,302.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that 1, CHARLES, F. Erkunnne, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cast Enamel Bar and Fountain 7ork-Benchesof which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in a `cast enamel bar and fountain work bench, and has for its object a sectional detachable structure, all parts conveniently drained and at all times kept ,in sanitary condition.

A further object of my Iinvention is to equip any bar or counter' with any number of sinks or basins, their `sides having gutters for receiving the drain from the drip shelves, all of the parts being detachable and constructed of cast enamel; the basins being arranged to drain into a limited number of drain pipes.

The essential feature of my invention is to construct a counter work bench of cast enamel sections, the basins or sinks arranged and -located as found desirable, and to use not more than two drain pipes in the entire structure.

Figure 1, is a vertical sectional view of my invention shown in connected position. Fig. 2, is a top plan view with the bar or counter in section. Fig. 3, is a cross sectional view through one of the sinks or basins. Fig. 4, is a cross sectional view through the high-ball ice basin showing the funnel through which the garbage is passed to the garbage pail. Fig. 5, is a cross section of one of the drip shelves. Fig. 6, is a detail perspective view showing the manner of locating the bench supporting bars. Fig. 7, is a sectional view of the high-ball ice basin, showing the ice basket in position.

1n the construction of my invention 1 attach to the ends of the counter supporting blocks 8, on these blocks are supported bars, rods or pipes 9, as found most effective. These members 9, are suitably spaced apart to accommodate the proper seating of the several sections constituting my improved work bench. Supported on these members 9, at any convenient location are sinks or basins 10, 11, 12, and 13, or as many more as necessary depending upon the length of the bar, and each of the basins is provided with a curved rolling ange 14, and 15,

which fit over the members 9, supporting the` basins in position. Each sink with' the eX- ception ofthe high-ball basin has overflow channels 1G, formed on its rear side 17, which channel leads into a drain 18, which drain in turn leads into the drain pipe 19, leading to the sewer. On the sides 20, of the sink are formed troughs 21, these troughs leading to ports 22, which connect to the channel 16, see dotted lines in Fig. 1. The upper edges of the sides 20, are rolled as indicated by the numeral 23, which rolls form a convenient rounded surface as well as to protect the ends 24, of the drip shelves 25, lwhich are supported on the gutters and from which the water and dripping are permitted to flow into thetrough and out. The

`sinks such as 10, 11, and 13, need a water supply and this is accomplished by equipping the apron 26, with a faucet 27, which is properly connected Ato the water supply 28. The drains 18, are equipped with a Y- coupling, and to the inlets 29, are connected the pipes 30, leading from the intermediate sinks or basins; thus using but few connections to the sewer.

The high-ball ice basin 12, is constructed with a table portion 31, the edges flanged as shown to support the same on the rods 9, and sides to project over the gutters 21, of the adjoining sinks, if so positioned. The table is provided with an opening 82, in which is seated a funnel 33, which acts as a garbage receiver and conveys the garbage to a suitable receptacle placed below. In the basin 12, is detachably seated a mesh tray or basket 34, in which the cubes of ice are placed, in this manner the ice is properly cut in a convenient location, placed in the basket and then carried to the bar and inserted in the basin 12, making it absolutely sanitary.

The surface of the drip shelves are grooved as indicated by the numeral 35, so as to convey the drippings from the washed glasses to flow to the troughs 21.

The position of the sinks and basins is absolutely immaterial, this depends on the length of the bar in which the bench is to be applied. The drip shelves are properly tilted to give a gravity flow to the drippings from the washed glasses; and such shelf may be placed between each sink if desired, or otherwise.

It is the express object to provide an absolutefsanitary, durable, and clean looking structure, and built to be detachable in parts.

Having fully described my invention what I claim is:

l. In a cast enamel bar and fountain work bench, the combination of a parallel pair of supporting bars extending throughout its length; drip shelves having down-turned sides supported thereon; a plurality of sinks supported on said bars, and means for catching the drippings and conveying the arie to a drain pipe, substantially as speci- 2. A bench of the class described comprising a plurality of cast enamel parts their edges so arranged as to be detachably conf nected together side by side; two parallel bars running lengthwise .with the bench for supporting the parts in proper relation to each other and drains for conveying away the liquids, substantially as specified.

3. A device of the class described, comprising a pair of supporting bars; sinks supported between the same, drain shelves supported on said bars; gutters formed on the sides of the sinks over which the ends of the shelves project for conveying the drippings; channels and ports formed in the sinks and connecting said gutters; and a ,wf

high-ball basin dctachably mounted, and drains connecting the several parts, all of which being constructed of cast enamel, substantially as specified.

4. A device of the class described, com- Copies of this patent may 'be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,
